This week I had the pleasure of meeting Julianne Smith, the brains and talent behind the Garter Girl Blog and Julianne Smith Wedding Garters. She is absolutely fabulous — and so are her garters!

Julianne’s custom garters are fab enough to make even the most anti-garter bride do a double take. Stylish and made-to-order, her garters are a perfect way for a bride to celebrate the long-time garter tradition at her wedding. The custom garters can be made to reflect the color scheme of the event or embellished with embroidery.  Sweet and stylish!

Welcome to the blogroll, Julianne!

Custom Granola

There’s something about eating granola that always makes me feel healthy. After a bowl of homemade granola and yogurt (one of my all-time favorite breakfasts) I feel like patting myself on the back: “You did it! Way to eat healthfully today. (Nevermind what you will eat for lunch, or dinner, or dessert, or a late-night snack… ). Gold star for you!”

So when I recently read about MixMyGranola — an online store where you can customize your very own blend of granola, I nearly dropped my yogurt-covered spoon.

The process is easy. Simply start with a base of either granola (organic, low-fat, or french-vanilla) or organic muesli and then add your choice of mix-ins. It’s like the healthy, breakfast version of Cold Stone (another serious vice of mine).

MixMyGranola custom blends would be a special treat for houseguests and would also make a nice hostess gift.
